As Komplexer long seem have been abandoned by the developer, I have petitioned them about setting it "free as is".

Got a promising answer from TERRATEC-NOXON Vertriebs GmbH about a month ago:

thank you for your suggestions. We will forward this to our product management. We can't promise you, that we can publish the Komplexer as a freeware, because there also are external developers involved and we just have distributed the software...

In case you are looking online, you may find the last update. I have the last update + a little extra sound banks unbelievable that it rolls on my new windows 7 64 bit computer Intell perfectly without any problems. Pirate site is probably the only way to get it.

Im convinced that it is possible to release virus as a vst after I started using komplexor.

Yeah, but we can't use pirated software.

Need the consent of the developer. It would be great if they could go along with setting it "free as is".

Maybe it's time to send them a reminder?

i think you can forget that

The "external developer" now runs Waldorf - why would he agree to release a product as freeware that is in direct competition to something he currently sells himself?

so is it correct to say, for anyone who really wants komplexer, but cant find it or doesnt want to use abandonware, they should just get largo?

that was my impression of the situation.

IMO yes. I doubt that Waldorf will allow a freeware alternative to Largo.
Stefan Stenzel who is developer + CEO of Waldorf Music was part of the Komplexer development team.

AFAIK Komplexer was done at the time when Waldorf disappeared for a few years.
